Best thing I ever saw. 2nd favorite anime of all time. Almost cried like a bitch at the ending. Was depressed for 3 days after reading the manga ending. Cheered, sobbed and stood in silence during every episode from the epicness.

In the manga, Light gets the death he deserves, begging and screaming for his pathetic life and dies right on the spot instead of walking around for a few hours.
And then there's some Kira cult that still worships him as a god.
